  • Perks are a commodity bundle offered by an employer to an employee. We provide two
    dynamic models. First, we assume non-separable utility function between effort and both of
    a perk good and money, extending Bennardo, Chiappori and Song (2010). There are two
    forces affecting the incentive compatibility constraint: higher promised utility makes the
    incentive compatibility constraint more binding, and if the higher promised utility is too
    costly then a principal may reduce the implemented effort. When the first effect is stronger
    than the second, the principal gives more perk good as successful outcomes accumulate. In
    the second model, an agent can save money privately (i.e. hidden saving), but not a perk
    good. Increasing monetary payment today makes it more difficult to satisfy the today’s
    hidden saving constraint, but makes it easier to satisfy the yesterday's hidden saving
    constraint. When the second effect is larger than the first, the principal gives more perk as
    successful outcomes accumulate.
